The Spotlight on Motel 6-Jacksonville FL - South

Affordable Comfort Near Jacksonville’s Music Scene

Modern and budget-friendly, Motel 6-Jacksonville FL - South is located in the Southeast Jacksonville-Baymeadows district—offering easy access to local music venues and downtown attractions. With simple, clean rooms, free WiFi, and 24-hour service, this 2-star hotel keeps things no-nonsense and convenient for travelers focused on catching a great show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Jacksonville’s top live music venues—including Theatre Jacksonville, Florida Theatre, and EverBank Field—are all within a 10- to 15-mile radius, meaning you can catch your show and be back in bed in no time. Guests appreciate the quiet surroundings of the Baymeadows area, making it a great spot to wind down after a loud night. The 24-hour front desk is a plus if you're checking in late post-gig, and free parking is a bonus if you're driving in for the event.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends road-tripping to a concert
Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
Couples planning an affordable weekend escape
Fans who want a quiet place to crash after the encore
Budget-conscious music lovers who want to save for merch, not splurge on lodging

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the location places you close to several walkable fast food spots and casual eateries. Grab a bite before or after the show with ease. Late-night snacks are a short drive away, and there are multiple breakfast options nearby for a post-concert brunch.

Nightlife Options

You’ll find plenty of bars and lounges within a 15-minute drive—perfect for a nightcap or post-show celebration. While the hotel itself is more of a quiet crash pad than a party hub, downtown Jacksonville’s nightlife is never far.

What People Say

Guests often praise the value for money, especially the clean rooms and friendly front desk staff. Parking and WiFi are free, which gets a thumbs-up from travelers. The location is a highlight for those attending events but wanting to avoid downtown prices or noise.

Areas for Improvement

This is a no-frills stay, so don’t expect luxury touches or plush extras. A few reviewers mention that the hotel could benefit from some cosmetic updates, and certain rooms may show signs of wear. But for the price, most say it delivers what you need—and not much you don’t.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a show and want a clean, affordable place to rest your head without the downtown hassle, Motel 6-Jacksonville FL - South hits the right note.
